fo @ZZ w hom t may concern Be it known that we, ALVIN Nnrsanrrr Formen and BnNnL WTALDARF LANGS, both subjects of the King of Great Britain,` and Y residents of the city of Moose J aw, in the Province of Saskatchewan, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to oil burners, and has for its objects to provide a burner that can be used to heat an ordinary range or a furnace, to provide means whereby the supply of air can be miXed with the vaporized oil, to provide a means of heating ranges and furnaces with coal oil without incurring the dangers usually incurred in using coal oil for such purposes, to provide an oil burner that is simple in construction and not liable to go out of repair7 and generally to adapt the several parts to better perform the functions required of them.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists essentially of the improved construction and arrangement of parts particularly described and set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings forming part of the same.

In the drawings;

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cooking range, with the burner and fuel supply attached thereto.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the burner alone.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal section through the burner.

Figure 4 is a cross section through the same.

Like characters of reference refer to like parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawings; A represents a range of usual construction provided in the fire boX thereof with transversely eX- tending rails 10 designed to carry the burner B.

The burner B is formed of a boxing 11 substantially rectangular in form and provided with pointed ends.

The walls 12 of the burner slant inwardly as shown in Figure 4, and have a central projection 13 curved inwardly. The top wall 14 of the burner is provided with central projections 15 adapted to form togther with the projections 13 suitable air ee s.

The burner proper consists 0f a; pipe 16 extending within vthe rectangular casing 11 and connected by an elbow 17 to a. U-shaped pipe 18 extending vertically above the casing 11 and having its end connected by an elbow 18 to the horizontal pipe 19 provided with orifices 20 through which the fuel can be ejected and lightedi The U-shaped pipe 18 carries a spreader 21 located above the jet 20 in order t0 spread the flame of the fuel burning from the jet. y A plate 22 is carried by the casing 11 and extends under the same intermediate of the length thereof, thus leaving two under openings 23 throughwhich air can circulate upwardly and be fed to the vaporized oil through the air feeds 15. This heats air properly before mixing with vapor of oil.

The pipe 16 is connected by means of a pipe connection 24 to a T fitting 25 carried by a pipe 26 supported by the range A. The pipe 26 carries a second T fitting 27 to which is connected a tubing 28 designed to convey the oil from a. tank 29. The pipe 26 is provided with a needle valve 30 designed to regulate the feed of oil from the tubing 28.

The fuel tank 29 is connected by means of the hollow brass wire tube 31 to a hand air pump 32 and the tank further carries a gauge 33 designed to register the air pressure fed therein.

When in use the needle valve 30 is open and a little oil comes up b v air pressure that has been pumped into tank into the connection 24 and fed therefrom to the distributing pipe 19, where it is lighted on its outlet through the opening 20.

More oil is then pumped and on its passage through the U-shaped pipe 28. will be heated by the jet 20 impinging on the spreader 21 and will thus be vaporized on its outlet from the orifices 20.

It will be obvious that this method of using oil for fuel is perfectly safe as gas is used up as fast as it is made. As the fuel supply is kept in a tank, at a distance from the burner and as coal oil is not volatile and only a small amount of oil passes through the tubing 265 the dangers usually incurred 'with this fuel are almost eliminated.

As many changes 'could be made in the above construction, and many apparently widely different embodiments of our invention, within the scope of the claim, opnstructed without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, it is ,intended that all; matter contained inthe accompanying specifica- ,shaped pipe in opposite position to said jet,

a Ventilating plate onV theb'ottoni of ,theV easing, a' feed pipe, Vpipe Vconnections` 'he-J tween the feed pipe and thesour'ce of fuel,

means for supplying the burner with fuel` 20 and means for regulating the flow of oill thereto. n y l In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the preseneeof two witnesses.
